Moscatel is made from the Muscat grape, but this wine is made in a different style than the Barefoot Moscato (which is yummy!) or a Moscato D’Asti (also delicious!). It is heavier/thicker, with more honey notes. This had lots of the same characteristics of a Sauternes or late harvest Chardonnay. Sugared lemon, honey, and fresh cut flowers on the nose, with some acidity on the midpalate and a honeyed finish. I liked the balance of citrusy notes and honey… very interesting. This wine would be awesome with the right stinky cheese…
